Screen Queensland in partnership with Screenworks presents an IN CONVERSATION panel discussion with the producers of locally filmed, Screen Queensland-supported Stan Original Documentary Revealed: Reefshot.
Produced by Queensland’s WildBear Entertainment, Reefshot tells the incredible true story of the modern-day race to protect the Great Barrier Reef from climate change, and the conservationists, scientists, Traditional Owners and everyday citizens on the forefront of its protection.
Screen Queensland’s Acting CEO Dr Belinda Burns will facilitate a panel featuring Head of Stan Originals Amanda Duthie, CEO of WildBear Entertainment Michael Tear, CME Partners’ Chris Chard, and Indigenous Land & Sea Ranger Tarquin Singleton, to discuss the journey of bringing Revealed:Reefshot to stream on Stan — from its beginnings as a ‘proof of concept’ to its premiere in Cairns on Wednesday 31 May 2023.
Amanda Duthie will also discuss future program openings and content trends for Stan and offer advice on how to pitch your projects.
Those interested, can register now for this invaluable panel discussion and audience Q&A.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to schedule one-on-one meetings with Amanda Duthie, Michael Tear and Lisa O’Meara (CEO, Screenworks) the following morning on Thursday 1 June.
Stan Original Documentary Revealed: Reefshot is directed by Matt Tomaszewski and produced by Chris Chard for CME and Michael Tear for WildBear Entertainment. The film was supported by Screen Queensland’s Screen Finance Program with principal production investment from Screen Australia in association with Stan and financial support from Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef.
